Shiitake

Shiitake is an edible mushroom native to East Asia. It is known as a medicinal mushroom in some forms of traditional medicine. More research must be conducted but the science is showing that shiitake may have the potential to improve our immune systems, inhibit the growth of cancer cells, prevents fat deposition, and can act as an antimicrobial.

Shiitakes have a meaty texture and woodsy flavor, making them the perfect addition to soups, salads, meat dishes and stir fries.
